Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer couples therapy in Massachusetts?

Yes. I provide telehealth couples therapy for clients throughout Massachusetts, with a focus on the North Shore — including Beverly, Salem, Newburyport, Marblehead, Gloucester, and surrounding towns — and in Vermont. All sessions are conducted via secure video.

How do I get started?

The first step is a free 15-minute phone consultation. I'll call you at the time you select. We'll talk about what's bringing you in and whether working together feels like a good fit. You can schedule directly through the contact page.

Do you offer a free consultation?

Yes. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation before any commitment to start therapy. This is a chance to ask questions and get a sense of whether my approach is the right match.

What do you specialize in?

My focus is couples and family therapy — helping partners, families, and individuals navigate relationship conflict, communication breakdown, and complex relational dynamics, especially when addiction, recovery, or loss is part of the picture. I’ve worked in mental health and addiction treatment since 2018, including as Clinical Director of Sana at Stowe, a residential addiction treatment program, and as Bereavement Program Coordinator for BAYADA Hospice. That experience shapes how I approach difficult, high-stakes situations.

Do you work with families, not just couples?

Yes. I work with parents and families navigating conflict, families where one member's struggles are affecting the whole system, and situations where roles and responsibilities have become unclear or unsustainable.

Do you do individual therapy?

Yes, for adults dealing with relational stress, anxiety, life transitions, and situations that have become difficult to manage alone.

What is your approach to therapy?

My approach is structured and direct. I've worked in clinical settings where situations are genuinely complex — residential treatment, hospice, high-conflict family systems — and that experience informs how I work in private practice. Rather than open-ended exploration, I focus on identifying the patterns driving the problem and building practical change from there.

How much does couples therapy cost?

Couples and family sessions are $200 per 50-minute session. Individual sessions are $175. 90-minute sessions are $225 for individuals and $250 for couples or families. My practice is private pay — I do not bill insurance directly, but I can provide a superbill for potential out-of-network reimbursement. For more information please see my pricing and payment options page.

Do you accept insurance?

No. I am private pay only. This keeps therapy flexible, without the treatment limitations that insurance billing often requires. Upon request, I can provide a superbill you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. For more information please see my pricing and payment options page.

How does telehealth therapy work?

Sessions are conducted via a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform accessible from any computer, tablet, or phone. Most clients find telehealth easier to fit into a busy schedule than in-person appointments, with no commute and the option to join from wherever is convenient.

What are your credentials?

I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) licensed in Massachusetts and Vermont, with a Master of Social Work from Simmons University. I previously served as Clinical Director of Sana at Stowe, a residential addiction treatment program, and as Bereavement Program Coordinator for BAYADA Hospice. Across these roles I've supervised clinicians and developed clinical programming in high-pressure settings.

Where are you located?

My practice is fully telehealth. I work with clients throughout Massachusetts — particularly the North Shore — and Vermont. There is no in-person office. You need to be in Massachusetts or Vermont during sessions.
